The Children will Play

A lady I work with decided she would buy the Civil War Diary book. So I though, maybe we should have a little 'challenge' of sorts. I picked six blocks to start off with, and we have two weeks to complete the six 6 inch (finished) blocks, then when we are done, she will pick the next six and so on until we have as many as we want. She is making hers in reproductions, I'm making mine in Kaffe Fassett. So far they are looking pretty interesting. Unfortunately, most of the blocks need to be foundation paper pieced, as the measurements are a bit weird.


Those strips are a quarter of an inch wide. I was a bit hesitant about using the diagonally stripped fabric, but once I had finished the little block I was so glad I did.



I think they are looking great so far
